Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carrol said DT Tony McDaniel will replace DE Red Bryant at five technique in 2014. "A lot of people probably don't know much about me and that I played there before," McDaniel said. "I've got the body type - 6-foot-7, 320. I definitely fit the body type to play end. It wasn't a big deal to move out there."

The Seattle Seahawks may ask DE Chris Clemons and DE Red Bryant to restructure their contract this offseason in order to create some salary cap space. The team may also consider releasing both players during the offseason. Bryant is scheduled to have a cap figure of $8.5 million, while Clemons is scheduled to have a salary cap figure of $9,666,668.

The Seattle Seahawks are likely to use a rotation of players on the defensive line filling in for DT Red Bryant (concussion) in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons. DE Michael Bennett is likely to start in the base defense, but Bryant's snaps will likely be spread out amongst several players.

Seattle Seahawks DE Red Bryant, S Earl Thomas and C Max Unger all will receive increases in their base salary in 2013 because of incentives in their contracts. Bryant will go from $6.5 million to $6.6 million, Thomas will go from $1.575 million to $2.05 million and Unger will go from $4 million to $4.9 million.
